I love one exercise that people often overlook: Pullups. I really don't like lat pulldowns and there have been many studies that have shown pull-ups to be one of the best upper body workouts that you can do. If you are a light guy, like yourself, you should have no problem pounding out tons of pull-ups. I started out just doing 4-5 sets until exhaustion, until I started adding weight. Biceps are a secondary muscle for pullups, with lats being the primary target, so you should do some sort of bicep exercise after you are done. I really noticed a difference in arm size once I started doing weighted pullups.
In the same respect, as others mentioned, your arms will get bigger as you do other lifts, such as bench, which involve your triceps.
